Teacher Leaders Development Program: Enhancing Education for Students
This act establishes a professional development program for teachers who wish to take on leadership roles in their schools while remaining in the classroom. The goal is to improve student achievement and promote data-driven instructional practices. Teachers will gain new development opportunities, and schools will receive support in enhancing educational quality.
Key points
Teachers with at least 3 years of experience can apply for the program, which offers one year of training and support, and the opportunity to earn a teacher leadership credential.
The program provides an additional 1-2 years of support for teacher leaders and may offer partial stipends, provided matching funds from non-federal sources are secured.
The aim is to develop teachers who will support other educators, improve teaching methods, engage families and communities, and influence educational policy, ultimately leading to better student outcomes.
